does this keep dogs from biting their feet?

If you purchase the correct size (go to the Comfy Cone website to see how to properly measure) your dog should not be able to reach anything - including its paws. I bought mine for my Black Lab who has issues with his paws and it stopped his constant licking. Good Luck!

We bought this cone (Small 12.5 cm) for our miniature poodle puppy who weighs 6 pounds. It was not long enough to prevent him from biting his feet. We then purchased the "Small-Long" size of the Comfy Collar which was long enough. However, I do not recommend the Comfy Collar design because of the frightening velcro sounds, claustrophobic sides collapsing against the ears, and fabric picking up muck in the yard that is not as easy to clean as the plastic cone models.

Well, your dog will have a hard time getting to its paws. I have a smallish dog with short legs and while she did try to lick her paws, the collar would get in the way. I imagine that even if you had a big , strong dog, it would still be difficult since the collar (while soft) is not as flexible as it may look. The trick is making sure the collar is large enough to fit beyond the dogs nose.

Possibly, if you had a short leg breed like dachound or Corgi it might work. If you had a dog with longer legs like a lab or golden retriever I'm not sure it would keep them from chewing their legs or feet

No, there is no traction as they are rubber and are smooth all the way around and a dog's nails can pierce the rubber quite easily. A better choice might be, Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. I bought those for one of my dogs as he gets skin infections through his feet very easily and they are proving to be great! I'm going to get another pair of their Rugged Dog Boots for my other dog who runs around quite a bit and has severely scrapped her pads to see if this works. I hope this helps you.

I got mine hoping it would keep my dog from pulling on the leash...It didn't work for me because it would get to tight on her neck...I'm not sure if it will keep your dog from climbing the fence wish I could be more helpful..

They are a thin rubber. They would help somewhat, but would probably be more protective if you were walking in sand so the sand would not get between the pads of the dogs paws same as walking in the snow. They helped more with that type of issue.

This device does not cover or control the mouth of the dog, so I don't think it would prevent nipping. Instead it discourages the dog from pulling ahead on the leash.

These keep my dog's feet from getting wet so they are not as cold when he walks in the snow. He used to whine and lift his paws in the snow but doesn't anymore when we use these, so they may help keep dogs' feet warm to an extent.

I don't have a dog i got it for my cat but i believe As long as it stays on it will keep her from scratching her face. Good luck!

We also have some hardwood, and neither of our dogs have ever had any issues with traction or sliding. It really is a great product. Hope this is helpful & happy walking!Maybe Joe is applying too much if he's experiencing slippage, not positive, just a thought.

It could be but be careful as I have heard small mammals can get their foot caught and break it. I made wood platforms to prevent that. I also decided to get rid of it and go with a rabbit style cage.

I use it on my Great Danes feet and as long as you put it on her feet right before you go out it repels its like putting Chapstick on dont need clean up you will need to reapply it weekly or monthly depends on how cold or hot ground or surface they are on love it works awesome for me try to put boots on a 146 lb dane just doesn't work lol

I do not believe these would prevent the dog from chewing, when My dog did have something bothering him, he did pull it off. Sounds like medicine is needed. Good Luck

It does put pressure on the snout but because of the design it seems to not rub. I have a 65lbs lab who pulls like crazy and even after walking/hiking for 2+ hours he did not get any rub marks. I think if you keep the velvet side of the strap on the dog's skin and have it cinched tight enough at the back of the neck it minimized the rubbing.

I got mine for my collie who chews her front and back feet. This did not help. She was able to reach back with this on. The collar the vets have you buy for the dogs after surgery is the one that works but I have trouble seeing her in that as it really restricts her movements. I now use baby booties when she is in the house and at night.

I would assume if it's safe for dogs, it's safe for humans. But this is intended for dogs that like to bite themselves out of boredom and cause sores. If your dog is biting your bare feet he/she probably wants to play and that should be corrected in another way.

Yes :) It works well in the cold snow/ice/slush. Also works on feet in summer on hot pavement, sand or deck. We put it on our dogs feet in the winter a few times a week. It stays on well and with our Boston Terrier's they didn't like having boots on their paws. Also great at the beach in the hot sand. If they happened to go in the water and back out a few times we would just check to make sure their feet were still covered. In the summer we have the dogs out on our back deck but sometimes it gets to hot for their feet so we put this on them and it really works well. We also bought Snout soother as our Boston's nose gets all bumpy from a leaky nose when he gets allergies and I would recommend that as well if you were ever out looking for something that works well. Mushers is fantastic and I am glad I found it. I hope this helps.

We have 2 dogs and a cat. The clawguard has stopped all 3 of them from scratching our door. Definately give it a try!

Some dogs have a very dominant nature. Sometimes with this they will resist some of the training. Wearing gloves will help protect you from nipping and biting.
